This is wrong. It is not illegal to change light bulbs in Victoria. It's only illegal to do your own electrical work.

See here:

http://www.news.com.au/national/courts-law/urban-legend-or-legislation-australias-weirdest-laws-explained/news-story/a0d85b1999b5933ef01a940f39e07b93

Please modify it and don't mislead people.

Get your fact right too...I posted the link I got that from didn't I?

.... file:///data/data/com.android.browser/files/index-14.mht

If switching the power off is not viable, from a worksafe perspective I'd flick it off as a sparkies job.

This is because:
1) The standard bayonet/ES socket always seems to be electrically unsafe to me - very easy to bridge the terminals with your fingers or stick your finger on a live part while earthed.
2) Because there is a lack of electrical knowledge in the Australian population, Mr or Ms 'Change the lightbulb' person knows nothing about where the safe/unsafe bits in the fitting are, or indeed how the thing works at all...I can just see some helpful soul trying to dislodge an insect carcase with a metal pen while standing on tip-toes on a swivel chair.
3) Bulbs occasonally break when changing, so you've got the added risk of electrical shock as well as cuts from broken glass...and possibly blowing the entire circuit if the bulb seperates from its metal base and the lead wires twist together.
4) Even sparkies manage to kill themselves when working on things that should be isolated (but its too much trouble to switch off, so they don't...and ZAP!)

Nawa for you OP. Did you even open the link i posted? The link is recent (March 2016). Moreover, i live here in Victoria and that so called law is a myth. So please make the correction, nobody is above mistakes.

Yes I opened the link and visited more links to confirm. You make it look like I did a bad job stating that fact up there...

You live in Victoria? Wow! You forgot to say that before directing me to that link or did you just relocate to Victoria? I wouldn't have argued at all if you had said that earlier. smiley

Thanks though.

In Lagos state, smoking outside and in public places is a crime punishable by jail or heavy fine.

You won't understand how weird this law is until u realise that there's no police officer left to enforce this law as they all smoke in public places too.

6) China is notorious for its tendency to control things in Tibet but the law that the Chinese government passed in 2007 was just beyond absurd. According to the law, it's illegal for the Tibetan monks to reincarnate without the government´s permission weird isn't it?
This one off me shocked
